2020-present: Breakthrough and "BOMBOCLAAT"
Garfield announced that he planned on releasing a three-part series of albums called "BOMBOCLAAT" in the latter half of 2020. However, the album was intended to be a single album rather than multiple. On June 11, 2020, he released the lead single "Cosby" which featured rapper and internet meme Viper. It has become his most successful single to date, debuting at No. 13 on the Flex Entertainment Hot 100. It went on to peak at No. 12. The song's initial chart debut caused a lot of controversies in which its big Spotify numbers weren't counted due to the lack of access to the data. Garfield accused the charts of being "rigged." The chart's owner Beetlebat denied the claims and blamed Garfield for not submitting the numbers himself as he had no access.

On June 29, 2020, Yung Garfield left Flex Entertainment as he felt like the serious artists were outshining the satirical artists and didn't feel like he belonged on the label. His farewell post ended up becoming a copypasta used by Kardia to leave the label. He ended up returning to the label again on July 3, 2020. A remix of "Cosby" with fellow Flex Entertainment artists Big Baller B and Lil Squeaky was released on July 3.

Garfield released two more singles for BOMBOCLAAT. "New Beans" featuring Lil Squeaky and John which was initially included on the Flex Gang Vol. 2 compilation album. However, that version was a heavily edited version in which John was renamed Johnn Johnn and many tweaks were made to the instrumental, including a guitar solo at the end by former Flex artist Willberto. The original version was released only a few days later, and most fans agree that the original version is superior to the version seen on Flex Gang Vol. 2. The single peaked at number 13 on the Flex Entertainment Hot 100. The third single for "BOMBOCLAAT" was "Better Flex Charts," featuring Emily Finchum. The song also contains uncredited features from Chad Kroeger, Juice WRLD, and Viper. Chad Kroeger was credited at first, but his credit was removed due to the feature actually being a sample, causing controversy. The song was inspired by the beef with Beetlebat, putting his face on the cover art. However, none of the lyrics in the song relate to the Flex charts. The song peaked at number 14 on the Hot 100.

BOMBOCLAAT was released on September 11, 2020. The album received positive reviews from critics, many of whom enjoyed the absurd, over-the-top humor of the album and cited it as a one-of-a-kind listening experience. Every song on the album appeared in the Flex Entertainment Hot 100 Top 40.

Water Lasagna was released on November 13, 2020. It is Garfield's second mixtape.
